Patient Forms

The information entered on this page will not be used to send unsolicited email, and will not be sold to a third party.

Before receiving care as a patient at NYU Langone, we ask that you complete several forms to make sure that you understand your rights and responsibilities. We encourage you to read and understand the forms before your visit. You will sign the forms at your appointment, so you do not need to print or sign them in advance.

Types of Visits

You may be coming to NYU Langone for a doctor’s office appointment or for a hospital stay as an inpatient, outpatient, or for observation. The forms you need to fill out vary depending on the type of visit, which include the following:

An inpatient stay at a hospital, which usually lasts at least two nights, often for surgery, medical treatments, or to stabilize a serious illness or injury.

An outpatient stay, which may take place at a hospital or one of our outpatient care centers, where you may have tests, a variety of treatments, or minor surgery. The stay is typically a few hours.

Observation, which is a specific kind of outpatient care. People under observation remain in a hospital bed while being monitored for a serious change in their medical condition, usually for less than 24 hours. During that time, a healthcare team decides if the patient needs to be admitted to the hospital.

A visit to a doctor’s office to receive care from a physician or another medical professional.

For your safety, we use the PatientSecure® system. With biometric technology, the system scans a unique feature of your hand to simplify patient registration and provide the most accurate form of patient identification for future visits to NYU Langone.
